LibriVox recording of Southern Horrors: Lynch Law In All Its Phases, by Ida B. Wells (1862 - 1931). Read by James K. White and Laura Victoria.
Thoroughly appalled and sickened by the rising numbers of white-on-black murders in the South since the beginning of Reconstruction, and by the unwillingness of local, state and federal governments to prosecute those who were responsible, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett wrote Southern Horrors, a pamphlet in which she exposed the horrible reality of lynchings to the rest of the nation and to the world. Wells explained, through case study, how the federal government's failure to intervene allowed Southern states the latitude to slowly but effectively disenfranchise blacks from participating as free men and women in a post-Civil War America with the rights and opportunities guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution. (Summary by James K. White )

Subject: A Very Well Read Pamphlet
This is a fascinating cry of outrage from an Afro-american driven out of Memphis for publishing an inflammatory newspaper. The point of view, however, is -- ok, you just have to hear it. The two readers do a great job of this.
